Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), or prostacyclin, is a recently discovered prostaglandin that affects many organ systems. It is both a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation and a powerful vasodilator. The recent demonstration that it is the main prostaglandin synthesized by the blood vessel wall suggests that it may play an important role in limiting platelet-mediated thrombosis. However, despite considerable investigation, the exact physiological role of PGI2 has yet to be elucidated.
前列腺素I2(PGI2),即前列环素,是一种最近发现的影响多个器官系统的前列腺素。它既是血小板聚集的强效抑制剂,也是一种强大的血管扩张剂。最近的研究表明它是血管壁合成的主要前列腺素,这表明它可能在限制血小板介导的血栓形成中发挥重要作用。然而,尽管进行了大量研究,PGI2的确切生理作用仍有待阐明。
